If you've read Ali's Secnd Chance Romance series you'll remember Michael Carrington. You do not have to read them first to enjoy this book however. I'd recommend reading them at some point as it was a great series. Single mother Rainey lives in an apartment above her parents home. She's unemployed and desperate to find some work, with student loans to repay, bills and general living costs nearly burying her. Billionaire Michael makes his way to New York so that he can start organising his late wife's annual charity event. After taking such a long break he has a load of work awaiting him, he decides he needs an assistant. After losing his wife Cynthia to cancer he has had numerous women in his bed but they've all meant nothing to him. Michael hopes to find a male assistant as he doesn't want any temptation from a woman who he will need to work closely with. Rainey is given the job, but doesn't disclose the fact that she has a six year old son. Michael's new client is found dead, it's noted as an overdose but people are not convinced and start asking questions. Rainey's heard the rumours about his involvement with the Mafia. She starts asking her own questions and is scared this is going to affect her personally, fearing for her son and parents safety. They're both guilty of keeping secrets but are they able to overcome them?

I really enjoyed reading this story.Michael is the billionaire who employs Rainey, a recent graduate who's been looking after her son despite her ex not helping.Michael is your typical tycoon and yet I loved that he wasn't the typical alpha male. Yes he dominates in business but with Rainey he's quite soft.He's not sure why but it doesn't take long to work out why - he loves her.Rainey is a single mother who was struggling to find a job and look after her son. She's feisty, stubborn and yet is intelligent and sharp as a tack. There's nothing that gets by her which is why when she hears rumours of Michaels involvement to the mob she tries to find out more about it. Along the way this story involves quite a bit of suspense, intrigue and of course some steamy scenes.This story is a slow burn but once it gets going it definitely keeps you intrigued and wanting to turn the pages to find out if they end up together.Of course I'm not going to spoil it for you but this is one you MUST read. You'll really enjoy it.I enjoyed the characters who were all developed and the storyline flows really nicely. I really liked that the pair have gone through terrible times and that they're both a little hesitant to get involved. Rainey more so than Michael. I loved how feisty Rainey is, although at times she really grated on my nerves. I mean Michael hasn't really done anything too wrong and yet she allows her best friend to persuade her to end their relationship based off of rumours. This level of skepticism really was infuriating for me. I mean - Hello - you've got a gorgeous, super generous and loving man who worships the ground you walk in and you do everything in your power to push him away. I just wanted to shake some sense into her lol. There aren't many men in the world like Michael.* I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for an honest review *

Wow this book had everything, it kept me intrigued from start to finish, I didn't want it to end.Loved the emotions of this book and the connection between Rainey and Michael.Rainey is getting all that life wants to throw at her, discovering her husband was a liar and a cheat, finally getting her degree at 29 then trying to find a job and juggling being a single mother.Michael is still struggling with the death of his wife and throws himself into his work and the charity that his wife started but soon discovers he needs more help.Rainey lands a dream job, travelling to a beautiful cabin for the weekend - thinking she was scoping it out for a client - with her hot boss only to eventually find out it was just a cover so he could have an alibi.Michael seems to be involved in some pretty bad dealings but is determined not to get Rainey involved.This book was very well written, I loved everything about it.I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Michael's wife meant the world to him. Not only were they husband and wife they were best friends. After suffering the loss of his loving wife Michael decides to close himself off to love. Anything he can't walk away from with his heart intact he doesn't want apart of. Until Rainey storms into his life. She is a strong, stubborn and loving single mother. Determined to find a good paying job and put her hard earned degree to good use she finds herself in Michael's office. From the moment Michael and Rainey meet there's a connection. Can they both overcome their pasts and find love again?This is my first introduction to Ali Parker's work. I must say I really enjoyed Money Can't Buy Love. When I started reading this story I had expected it to be one way and was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. It was the perfect combination of heartfelt love story and suspense. I can't wait to read more of Mrs. Parker's books.

This is another great book by Ali Parker. Michael and Rainey are both strong characters, with plenty of flaws, that have you imersed in their world quite quickly. Both have guarded hearts and try to battle themselves against the chemistry that pulls them to each other. Everyday emotions of doubt, jealousy, love and trust issues, with laughs and sexy scenes making for a great read.Michael has appeared in a couple of other Second Chance books but it doesn't require you having read those. I personally love how Ali interwines the worlds of her different series and recommend you read the Second Chance and Casteletta series too but you'll still enjoy this book without knowing anything about those. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
